Issue 9: Capital, Circularity & the Windows 10 Wave

This week’s IntelliTAD focuses on three key thematic developments: first, the growing influence of active financial capital in the circular IT / IT-asset-disposition (ITAD) ecosystem; second, early data pointing to sustainability and resource-reuse metrics in electronics manufacturing and lifecycle services; and third, a projection exercise on the upcoming Windows 10 sunset and its implications for ITAD, refurbishment and urban-mining. Together the three pieces suggest a continued structural realignment across ITAD and recycling: investment dollars are flowing, circular-economy metrics are getting baked into business models, and a large, predictable hardware-disposition wave is emerging. For the end-of-life industry, encompassing ITAD operators, recyclers and downstream refiners, the window of opportunity is narrowing, and the requirements for traceability, automation and value-extraction are rising.

Technology: How AI’s Breakneck Pace Is Outrunning Enterprise Strategy and Your IT Refresh Cycle

It took 12 days for Anthropic to release two major AI models back to back. And with each release, the capability bar moves up, software value gets questioned, and the hardware underneath it all turns over faster than your refresh cycle was ever designed to handle.  This episode is a straight-talk breakdown of what that pace means for enterprise IT strategy, ITAM programs, and ITAD operations. This is not AI hype, but an honest analysis on the very real decisions landing on your desk right now as a result of it.

SIMS and Iron Mountain Are Repricing the ITAD and Positioning it as a Primary Growth Engine

In this episode, David Daoud of Compliance Standards LLC examines how Sims Limited and Iron Mountain are repositioning IT asset disposition from an operational afterthought to a primary growth engine inside publicly traded platforms. Both companies recently reported approximately 70% year-over-year growth in their ITAD divisions. More importantly, they elevated Asset Lifecycle Management and Sims Lifecycle Services in their earnings narratives, capital allocation priorities, and forward guidance.
